Easy to see

Should have said "easy to see" in low light conditions. Well easy to see all times. Knots well with other mono materials. Definitely works for EN.

Indicator Bi Color

Use it for my euro 11’ running mono (NY Tribs require 15’ max leader in fly zone). Works great.

Indicator Mono Leader Material - Bi-color

With varying lights dancing off the water, it really does help to have two colors that will either reflect or refract light. In essence, the red will absorb more light on darker days, while the fluorescent yellow will show up on brighter days to help in any euronymphing applications you may delve into. On a different note, the smaller the diameter of your indicator mono, the more you feel and see how often subtle takes come and go.

Strong like all Cortland tippet, but the brightest colors I can find

This indicator tippet is my favorite. It's strong, just like I expect from Cortland, but at 2x, I'm not worried about being the weak point. My favorite part of the Cortland Indicator material is how bright it is. The brightness makes it easier to detect strikes. Ideally, I like to carry 2 indicator materials, one for brightness and one for subtlety, but if I carry one it's the Cortland. At early or late light, this indicator material is the easiest to see.

Bicolor Mono Leader

I'm disappointed that it's in 12 inches per color. I prefer 24 inches per color.

Confidence

A great product that does it’s job every single time. I use this particular product to build ultra microliters for contact nymphing. Although it age 46 my eyesight isn’t as good as it could be or ever was that matter, even in a small diameter Cortlandt‘s indicator mono works well for me.

My new go to

I think it's brighter than Rio bi-color material.
